Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly prevalent infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The recommended TB treatment is acombination of various antibiotics in the form of a fixed-dose combination tablet or kombipak; however, this increases the prevalence of drug-relatedproblems. Therefore, this study aimed to identify drug-related problems of patients receiving TB therapy at the Tebet Subdistrict Health Center fromJuly 2018 to December 2018.Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional study using the retrospective data retrieval method from prescriptions of patients withTB from July 2018 to December 2018. The classification system prepared by Cipolle, Strand, and Morley was used for the classification of drugrelatedproblems; this system includes unnecessary drug therapy, required additional drug therapy, ineffective drug, dosage error, and druginteraction.Results: The percentage of unnecessary drug therapy, required additional drug therapy, ineffective drug, dosage error, and drug interaction was2.85%, 6.89%, 1.54%, 12.46%, and 66.18%, respectively, with the occurrence of drug-related problems being the highest.Conclusion: The administration of anti-TB drugs can potentially cause drug-related problems. Therefore, the assessment needs to be optimizedbefore the administration of medications to patients and medications should be prescribed and monitored regularly to achieve rational drug use

Objective: Acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) is common and has the highest death rate in children, especially in growing countries such asIndonesia. The aim of the research is to identify drug-related problems (DRPs) in pediatric ARTI patients based on the DRP classification by Cipolle,Strand, and Morley, which included categories such as unnecessary drug therapy, need additional therapy, ineffective drug, dosage adjustments suchas too low or too high, and adverse drug reaction which is drug interaction.Methods: The design of the study was cross-sectional and descriptive with a retrospective method. The sample of the study was the overall prescriptionsto upper respiratory tract infection patients in Tebet Subdistrict Health Center from July to December 2018 that fulfilled all of the inclusion criteria,using the total sampling method. Total samples that were analyzed were from 179 sheets of prescription with a total of 498 prescriptions.Results: The results of the research based on each parameter were inaccurate drug selection (9.5%), inaccurate indication (12.8%), mismatched dose(79.9%), and drug interaction (0.6%).Conclusion: DRPs in ARTI pediatric patients resulted in a high-risk condition so that the health facilities need to improve their prescribing pattern andmonitor and manage each therapy as well as do a routine prescription assessment to minimize the incidence of DRPs and achieve a rational drug usage.

The purpose of this study was to analyze what determinants influence maternal adherence regarding Measles Rubella immunization in infants. This type of research is quantitative research with cross sectional study design. The population in this study were all mothers who have children under five in the Delitua Health Center with asample size of 36 people. Data collection methods obtained directly from respondents through interviews using interview guidelines (questionnaire). Secondary data were obtained from Obstetric Gynecology records in the midwifery room and the medical records of the Deli Tua Health Center. Data retrieval of information will be done by interviewing Delitua Health Center with a questionnaire that has fulfilled the elements of validity and reliability. The results of this study are factors that greatly affect mothers not giving MR immunization in infants is a factor of family support with a value of 1.397 and information source factors. It is expected that health workers will provide more health information to the public that MR immunization is very important for toddlers to prevent Measles Rubella disease.

Abstract Background Both capillary and venous blood samples have been interchangeably used for the diagnosis of malaria in Ethiopia. However, Plasmodium parasites are thought to be more concentrated in capillary than in venous blood. Hence, selecting a sample source where parasites are more concentrated is indispensable approach in order to maximize the accuracy of blood film microscopy. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the detection rate and the parasitemia level of Plasmodium species from conventional capillary and venous blood films, and buffy coat preparations. Methods A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted from Feburary to March 2020 among 210 febrile patients attending Hamusite health center, northwest Ethiopia. Capillary and venous blood samples were collected and buffy coat was prepared from each sample. Thin and thick blood films were prepared, stained, and examined microscopically following standard protocol. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Software version 20 and Med-Calc software version 19.3. Results Capillary blood buffy coat (61/210, 29.0%) had significantly higher detection rate as compared to capillary (48/210, 22.9%) and venous (42/210, 20.0%) blood films (p < 0.001). However, no significant difference was observed between capillary and venous blood films (p = 0.070) in detecting Plasmodium species. The highest and the lowest mean asexual stage parasite counts were found in capillary blood buffy coat (4692.88) and venous blood (631.43) films, respectively showing significant variations (p < 0.001). Mean gametocyte count was also highest in capillary blood buffy coat (3958.44). As compared to capillary blood buffy coat, the sensitivity of venous blood buffy coat, capillary blood film and venous blood film were 73.8, 78.7, 68.9%, respectively. Conclusion Capillary blood buffy coat samples showed the highest sensitivity in detecting and quantitating malaria parasites that its use should be promoted in clinical settings. However, conventional capillary and venous blood films could be used interchangeably.
